Windy

That would describe Van Horn, Texas.  I can’t figure out how anything could set root here.  It would have to do it on the run.  The nearest weather reporting station at Pine Springs in Guadalupe Mountains National Park is currently reporting the wind to be from the west at 45 gusting to 59.  The KOA we are staying in has a weather station; it is a 10 lb rock hanging on a 6 ft rope. 

Teri got some more dash shots.

They say you can't take it with you; apparently, not everyone has heard that saying.

The scenery is so exciting...........

that they paint the roads to provide some.


Don’t want to count our chickens yet but truck is running strong.  Hope to get to western New Mexico today.

Be careful out there.
